Abstract :
In the emerging field of e-commerce, we show the great potential interest to create 3D virtual shopping centres. The study of a specific application (the creation of a household electrical appliances warehouse) enables us to highlight the possibilities of the VRML 2.0 language to model, visualize and perform interactive walkthroughs inside the warehouse. The key features of VRML 2.0 are underlined and new extensions are proposed in order to achieve a better, more realistic and “human-like” behaviour inside the virtual warehouse
